Just like that, Charlie effectively stopped Yvette from sheaking away.
He added for good measure, “Yvette, Mr. Rusell reminded me many times to bring you along. Also, Dr. Marx is the judge for today’s competition. You didn’t get to meet him yesterday, right? You can meet him today, then!”
Seeing Charlie’s persistence, Yvette knew there was no longer any chance she could sneak out. She lightly rubbed her temples and said in resignation, “Let’s go.”
Since Eustace came all the way to Jubilife, Yvette knew there was no point trying to avoid meeting him. She decided to just meet Eustace today.
When the class arrived at the competition venue, the people from Yael University had also just made their entrance. They were surrounding Eustace, trying to curry his favor.
Eustace wasn’t only renowned within Croedal. He was known internationally, too. The people from Yael University respected him very much,
“Dr. Marx, we really admire you! We’re incredibly honored to have finally met you!”
Eustace, however, did not even bat an eye. Instead, he looked over at the Jubilife University group, and his gaze was locked on Yvette. It was as if he was telling Yvette to stop avoiding him.
The Jubilife students had no idea that a secret conversation was happening between the two. They became excited as he looked over at them.
“Oh my God, Dr. Marx is looking at us!”
“Holy, he really is looking at us! I wonder if he’s looking for me.”
“Scram! Why would he look for you? He must be looking at me…. If Dr. Marx ever took an apprentice in, they would have such a bright future ahead of them!”
To their dismay, Jason, Zavier, and Casper were openly ignored by Eustace. Their faces fell, but they still had time to approach the Jubilife University students and sneer at them.
“We pledge to teach Jubilife University a lesson at the match today. Be prepared to get defeated!”
The Jubilife students were furious at how arrogant the three were still being.
“Watch your arrogance! We still don’t know who will get the last laugh!”
Casper whispered something in Jason’s ear just then, which made Jason even more arrogant. Jason haughtily looked down on the Jubilife group.
spat, “Jubilife University is bound to lose. If you admit defeat now, we’ll have mercy on you. Otherwise, you’ll just embarrass yourselves on stage!”
—“You little—”
The Jubilife University students were infuriated, of course. But before they got physical, Yvette stopped them.
“That’s enough, If a dog bit you, are you going to bite the dog in retaliation?” Yvette spoke nonchalantly. but her words angered the Yael University students.
“Just prove them wrong during the competition,” she continued.
Vista University sent Liam as their representative, and his skills were impeccable. Madison may not be as

The Croędalian representatives were bound to win this friendly match.
One of them spoke in their native language, “Yvie’s right. If a dog bites us, we can’t simply bite it back. Let’s just prove them wrong in the competition!”
Jason, Zavier, and Cox may not be good in Croedalian, but they could tell that they were getting insulted. Zavier hissed, “Whatever, I can’t wait to see you all bawl your eyes out after losing the competition!”
Soon, the competition began. Yael University sent their two representatives, who arrogantly went up the
stage.
